[QUOTE="scott degroot, post: 939094, member: 66039"] Good quality batteries don't have this issue so much and I can honestly say that I have never had this issue on any vehicle that I have ever owned. WHat you can try is get yourself about 5 pennies, heat them up with a small torch and then place them on top of the battery. The acid fumes will attract to the pennies and collect there before attaching to your battery post. If you don't like that idea then clean the post and cable connection very well, hook the battery back up and then completely cover the post adn cable end with grease. The grease will provide an airtight barrier so the fumes won't be able to corrode the cable end or the post. [/QUOTE]
